Kitchen Storage Solutions Mansfield

Is your kitchen a mess? Do you spend ages hunting for that one pot lid or spice jar? You're not alone. Most kitchens in Mansfield and the surrounding areas struggle with the same problem – not enough storage!

At Kudos Kitchens, we've seen it all. From tiny kitchens with no cupboard space to massive ones where everything gets lost in the back of cabinets. As a small family business, me and Emma (that's us in the photo with Cooper our "complaint department" dog!) have helped hundreds of local homeowners transform chaotic kitchens into organised, usable spaces.

Why Kitchen Storage Matters

Bad storage makes cooking a pain. Good storage makes it a joy.

It's really that simple. When I started Kudos Kitchens in 2022, I kept seeing the same problem in homes across Mansfield - people had kitchens that looked nice but were awful to use because things weren't stored properly.

The typical UK kitchen is about 15% smaller than ones in Europe or America, but we still have the same amount of stuff! Plus, our kitchen items keep getting more specialised. You might have a pasta maker, air fryer, food processor, and loads more that all need homes.

Modern storage fixes these problems by:

Making everything easy to reach
Using every bit of space (even awkward corners)
Keeping things organised so you can find them
Preventing clutter on your worktops

Cabinet Interior Storage Solutions

When most people think about kitchen storage, they picture the stuff inside cabinets. This is where the real magic happens!

Pull-Out Organisers

"I can't believe how much more space I have now!" That's what Diane from Mansfield said after we installed pull-out organisers in her kitchen cabinets. These clever systems let you access everything at the back of deep cabinets.

We use high-quality Kesseböhmer products that glide out smoothly and hold serious weight. The LeMans corner unit is our most popular - it swings out completely so nothing gets lost in those awkward corner spaces.

Corner Cabinet Solutions

Corner cabinets are usually where things go to disappear. Not anymore! We install several types of corner solutions:

Carousel units - Round shelves that spin for easy access
LeMans systems - Specially shaped shelves that swing completely out of the cabinet
Magic corners - Pull one shelf out and the others follow
Diagonal corner drawers - Makes use of that awkward triangle space

Michael's tip: "Corner units are the most wasted space in British kitchens. Fixing this one area can increase your storage by 30%!"

Drawer Organisation Systems

Drawers seem simple, but they're storage powerhouses when done right! We install:

Cutlery trays - Not just the basic ones, but adjustable systems that change with your needs
Deep drawer dividers - Keep pots, pans and lids organised
Spice organisers - Angled so you can see every label
Plate holders - Stack them safely with special divisions

We just finished a kitchen for the Wilsons in Kirkby-in-Ashfield where we replaced all their cupboards with deep drawers. Sarah Wilson told us, "I can see everything now! No more getting on my knees to dig through the back of a cupboard."

Vertical Storage Maximisers

The space between your worktop and wall cabinets is gold! We can add:

Magnetic knife strips - Gets dangerous items off the counter and looks professional
Hanging rail systems - For utensils, mugs, or small pots
Spice racks - Keep them handy while cooking
Paper towel holders - Clears counter space

Pantry and Larder Storage

If you've watched any kitchen shows lately, you know pantries are back in fashion! And for good reason - they're storage champions.

Built-in Pantry Organisation

A well-organised pantry can store a month of groceries in a space smaller than your fridge. We design and build pantries with:

Adjustable shelving - Changes as your needs do
Door storage - Uses that wasted space for spices or oils
Custom sections - Tall areas for cereal boxes, small spots for cans
Lighting - So you can actually see what you have!

Emma's tip: "The best pantries aren't huge - they're smart. It's all about making everything visible and easy to grab."

Pull-Out Pantry Systems

Don't have room for a walk-in pantry? No problem! Pull-out pantry systems fit into a cabinet but hold an amazing amount.

The Convoy Larder Cabinet we installed for Mrs. Davis in Sutton-in-Ashfield holds her entire grocery shop in a 60cm cabinet. "It's like my shopping unloads itself now," she told us. "I can see everything at once instead of stuff getting pushed to the back."

These systems come in widths from 30cm to 60cm and pull out completely, giving you access from both sides.

Door-Mounted Storage Options

Cabinet doors are wasted space in most kitchens. We change that by adding:

Spice racks - The narrow design is perfect for doors
Oil and vinegar holders - Keeps bottles upright and handy
Cleaning supply organisers - Great for under-sink areas
Chopping board holders - Stops them taking up valuable drawer space

Tiered Shelving Solutions

Standard shelves waste height. Our tiered shelving systems add mini-shelves inside your cabinets to double or triple your storage space. Perfect for:

Cans and jars - See everything at once
Mugs and glasses - Fit more without stacking
Spices - Create a 'stadium seating' effect so labels are visible
Plates - Save space while keeping everything accessible

Drawer Organisation

Modern kitchens use drawers instead of cupboards wherever possible. Why? Because drawers bring everything to you - no bending, kneeling or reaching.

Cutlery and Utensil Organisation

Basic cutlery trays are fine, but our systems do more:

Expandable dividers - Adjust to fit your drawer exactly
Two-tier systems - Double your storage in one drawer
Knife blocks - Safe storage for sharp items
Custom inserts - Specialy slots for odd-shaped tools

Deep Drawer Dividers

What goes in your deep drawers? With our divider systems:

Pots and pans - Stay neatly separated with no scratching
Plastic containers - Lids and containers stay together
Baking equipment - Everything from rolling pins to cookie cutters
Appliance accessories - Keep mixer attachments and food processor blades safe

A customer in Clay Cross told us: "I used to avoid cooking because finding the right pot was such a hassle. Now everything has a home and I can grab exactly what I need."

Plate and Bowl Storage Systems

Stacking plates in cupboards wastes space and risks chips. Our drawer plate storage:

Holds plates vertically - See every plate at once
Adjusts for different sizes - From side plates to dinner plates
Includes bowl storage - Even odd-shaped pasta bowls
Prevents chipping - Everything stays in place, even when the drawer closes quickly

Spice Organisation Options

Spices need special attention - they're small, numerous, and you need to see the labels. Our solutions include:

Drawer inserts - Angled so you see the tops of jars
Pull-out racks - Narrow cabinets that hold 30+ spices
In-drawer expandable racks - Adjust to fit your collection
Vertical door storage - Uses that narrow space efficiently

Specialised Storage Solutions

Some items need special treatment. Here's how we handle the tricky stuff:

Wine and Bottle Storage

Wine bottles take up loads of space when stored upright. Our wine storage options:

Integrated racks - Built into your cabinets
Diagonal storage - Maximises awkward spaces
Temperature-controlled areas - For serious wine lovers
Hanging glass storage - Keeps stemware safe and accessible

Waste and Recycling Systems

Recycling means more bins, which means more floor space used up. Our integrated systems:

Hide bins inside cabinets - No more eyesores
Provide multiple sections - Sort as you go
Pull out completely - Easy access when cooking
Close softly - No slamming or noise

Emma says: "Our pull-out bin system is the thing customers rave about most. It's such a simple change but makes such a difference to how the kitchen looks and works."

Under-Sink Organisation

The space under your sink is often a disaster zone. Our under-sink systems:

Work around pipes - Custom-fit to your plumbing
Include pull-out drawers - See everything at once
Use vertical space - Hang cleaning bottles from rails
Protect the cabinet - Waterproof liners prevent damage from leaks

Baking Sheet and Tray Organisers

Baking trays, cutting boards, and pizza stones are awkward to store. Our vertical dividers:

Keep items upright - No more noisy stacking
Adjust for different thicknesses - From thin baking sheets to thick chopping boards
Maximise narrow spaces - Turn that useless 15cm gap into useful storage
Make everything accessible - No more pulling everything out to reach the bottom item

Small Kitchen Storage Innovations

Got a tiny kitchen? We love a challenge! Here's how we maximise small spaces:

Vertical Wall Storage Systems

Walls are your friend in small kitchens! We can add:

Magnetic strips - For knives and metal tools
Rail systems with hooks - Hang anything from utensils to small pots
Narrow shelving - Just deep enough for spice jars or mugs
Pegboard systems - Infinitely customisable

Multi-Functional Storage Furniture

When space is tight, every item should do double-duty:

Kitchen islands with storage - Work surface above, storage below
Bench seating with drawers - Dining and storage combined
Extendable tables - Small footprint, big when needed
Trolleys - Extra workspace that can be moved away

Hidden and Concealed Options

Small kitchens look best when they're tidy. Our hidden storage helps:

Pocket doors - Hide appliances or messy areas
Toe-kick drawers - Storage in the space under your cabinets
Pull-down storage - Access high cabinets without a stepladder
Inside-door organisers - Use every inch of space

Door and Cabinet-Back Utilisation

Don't forget these often-wasted spaces:

Door racks - For spices, oils, or cleaning supplies
Cabinet-back organisers - That 2cm gap behind drawers? It can hold cling film and foil boxes
Over-door hooks - For tea towels or oven gloves
Pull-out towel rails - Hide away but easy to access

Real Kitchen Storage Transformation: The Haywards in Mansfield

Jane and Mark Hayward from Mansfield had a nice-looking kitchen, but Jane hated cooking in it. "Everything was hard to find, and I'd have to empty half a cupboard to reach what I needed at the back," she told us.

The problems:

Corner cupboards where items disappeared
Deep cabinets with wasted space at the back
Drawers with no organisation system
Pots and lids stored separately
No dedicated space for recycling

Our solutions:

LeMans corner storage system for easy access
Pull-out larder unit for food storage
Drawer dividers for utensils and pans
Vertical storage for baking trays
Integrated recycling system

"Now I can cook without the frustration," says Jane. "Everything has a place and I can find exactly what I need without hunting. It's the same physical space but feels twice as big."

Before and after photos show how we kept the same cabinet layout but transformed the functionality with internal storage. "It didn't even cost that much compared to a full kitchen renovation," Mark points out. "But it made a massive difference to how we use the space."

What Our Customers Ask About Kitchen Storage

How do I maximize kitchen storage?

Start by looking at wasted space - those awkward corners, the gaps between appliances, the height above wall cabinets. Most kitchens actually have plenty of space, it's just not used well.

Next, think about what you store where. Keep everyday items between waist and eye level. Use high storage for seasonal or rarely used things.

Finally, consider replacing standard shelves with drawers or pull-outs. This instantly gives better access to everything stored at the back.

What is the best kitchen storage solution?

There's no one "best" solution because every kitchen and family is different. For most people, the biggest game-changers are:

Pull-out corner storage (like LeMans systems)
Deep, organised drawers instead of cupboards
A proper pantry system (either walk-in or pull-out)
Vertical dividers for trays and cutting boards

Emma says: "The best storage is the one that solves YOUR specific problems. We always start by asking how you use your kitchen before recommending solutions."

How do I organize my kitchen with limited space?

In small kitchens, every centimetre counts! Start by being ruthless about what you keep. If you haven't used that bread maker in a year, do you need it taking up space?

Then look up - high wall cabinets, the space above your fridge, even the ceiling for hanging pots if your style allows it.

Finally, choose multi-function items where possible. A kitchen island that includes storage, seating, and workspace is more efficient than separate pieces.

Are pull-out drawers better than shelves in kitchens?

Yes! Pull-out drawers are almost always better than fixed shelves. Here's why:

You can see everything at once (no items hiding at the back)
You access everything from above (no kneeling or reaching)
They can hold more weight and don't sag over time
They're easier to clean when things spill
They can be organised with dividers for maximum efficiency

The only downside is the extra cost, but in our experience, it's the upgrade customers appreciate most.

What is the most efficient way to store things in kitchen?

Store things where you use them. It sounds obvious, but many kitchens don't follow this rule. Keep pots near the hob, plates near the dishwasher, food prep tools near your main work surface.

Group similar items together and give everything a specific home. The Japanese call this "one touch" - you should be able to grab anything you need in a single movement without hunting.

Finally, store things based on how often you use them. Daily items at easy reach, occasional items higher up or further back, seasonal items in the least accessible spaces.
